As startups and enterprise platforms scale, cloud bills on AWS and Google Cloud Platform frequently spiral out of control—driven by oversized RDS/Cloud SQL instances, unpruned Application Load Balancer IPv4 subnets, chatty NAT Gateway cross-AZ traffic, unindexed database queries, and runaway LLM API calls.
If you want to hire a freelance cloud cost optimization and FinOps programmer who reduces your monthly AWS or GCP bill by 40% to 70% through concrete architecture and code improvements (not just buying 3-year lock-in commitments), I am Aldian Fazrihady.
Where I Find Immediate Cloud Cost Savings
1. Database Query Optimization & Right-Sizing
The most expensive cloud line item is usually an over-provisioned RDS or Cloud SQL instance compensating for missing composite indexes and N+1 ORM queries. By fixing the underlying SQL queries and adding PgBouncer connection pooling, we routinely cut database CPU utilization by 70% and step down instance sizes safely.
2. Network, NAT Gateway & Public IPv4 Hygiene
AWS charges for every public IPv4 address ($0.005/hr per attached subnet/ENI) and every gigabyte passing through NAT Gateways. I configure VPC Endpoints for S3/DynamoDB/ECR, dynamically prune unused ALB availability zone subnets, and place CDN caching (CloudFront) in front of origin assets.
3. Serverless & Auto-Scaling Fleet Efficiency
Whether migrating idle EC2 clusters to scale-to-zero Google Cloud Run containers or automating Auto Scaling Group (ASG) fleet scaling with custom Launch Templates, I align your compute spend strictly with real user demand.
